"That was thoughtful of you."
Ethan nodded and did not say anything more, so the Scarecrow would not notice anything strange.
So after casually replying, he reached out and carried the still unconscious Nini down from the Bone Horse.
["You're lying! Miss Attendant Five is definitely lying!"], After hearing Attendant Five's words, the Scarecrow immediately became furious, ["It's definitely because you're the Lord, and Miss Attendant Five wanted to protect your pride, so she said that on purpose."]
"Hehe!"
Ethan smiled but did not argue with the Scarecrow.
At that moment, when Sister Attendant Five saw Ethan carrying an unconscious girl down from the Bone Horse, she quickly stepped forward to help, "Lord, who is she?"
"I picked her up on the road. Her sister passed away, pretty pitiful," After speaking, Ethan added, "Right, I also brought back her sister's body. I plan to hold a funeral for her. Attendant Five, arrange it."
"Yes, Lord!"
Attendant Five first responded to Ethan's order, then accepted Nini into her arms and said, "Such a pitiful child. If Lord doesn't mind, you can leave her with me to take care of. I've always wanted a younger sister too."
"I don't mind."
Ethan waved his hand, showing he did not care.
After all, although Nini was already fifteen or sixteen years old, Ethan was still a grown man. Taking care of her himself would indeed be inconvenient, so since Attendant Five was willing to take the task herself, that was naturally for the best.
"Lord, I can take care of her too."
Seeing herself constantly ignored, Cook Four quickly stepped forward to ask for a task as well.
At the same time, the Scarecrow also spoke inside Ethan's mind, ["Yeah! Since this slut says she can take care of her, then just leave her to do it."]
["My precious Attendant Five is just too kind. She always wants to help you with everything."]
["But Ethan, do you know that if you do this, it'll take away time between me and Miss Attendant Five? What you're doing is wrong, do you understand!"]
["I'm telling you, you'd better reject Miss Attendant Five's decision to adopt this girl, otherwise I—"]
Smack!
But right at that moment, a Cursed Doll suddenly fell from the sky and landed on the Scarecrow's head.
When Ethan saw that it was a Cursed Doll without an obedience talisman attached to it, he was so startled that he immediately backed away several steps. He even pulled out the Godslayer Sword and Shadow Guard. If the Cursed Doll showed any sign of approaching, he would not hesitate to use his strongest sword technique, his strongest Shadow Guard, and even his strongest Great Fireball Spell to tear the doll apart.
After all, the Cursed Doll's power was too terrifying.
Touch it and you die.
Too abnormal.
"Disciple, you don't need to worry."
At that moment, Nostradamus and Genie Sylas suddenly appeared from who knew where and said, "Under my training, this Cursed Doll has already learned to freely control its curse ability. You don't need to worry."
"And it already made an agreement with me. As long as I give it room to move around freely, it promises not to cause trouble."
"I thought about how miserable it was for me to be trapped in the Treasure Land for all those years."
"So I let it out."
"Relax. It won't hurt you."
"Uh…"
After hearing Nostradamus's words, Ethan finally relaxed a little.
An archmage's words still carried weight. It was only a Cursed Doll after all. Ethan believed the two Great Magi in his territory could still keep it under control.
"You idiot! Scumbag!"
The moment the Cursed Doll appeared on the Scarecrow, it immediately started cursing in a childish doll voice, "You're clearly my man, yet you still dare think about other women here! Believe it or not, I'll make sure you die tonight!"
["Bah! Since when was I your man?"]
The Scarecrow could not make actual sounds, but its voice rang directly inside Ethan's mind.
Ethan originally thought the Scarecrow wanted him to help respond to the Cursed Doll, but unexpectedly, the Cursed Doll seemed able to hear the Scarecrow's voice directly and immediately snapped back, "You kissed me before, and you even tore open my clothes and looked at my body! And now you want to deny it? Are you even a man?"
"Hiss!"
Attendant Five and Cook Four both covered their mouths at once, disbelief all over their faces.
Especially Attendant Five. She had always treated the Scarecrow as nothing more than a special doll. Who could have imagined this special toy had actually done something like that before.
It was too shocking
"A cloth doll… a cloth doll can actually talk?", Cook Four also stared at the cloth doll sitting on the Scarecrow's arm with a shocked expression, "And the Scarecrow actually has that kind of relationship with it? This is too much information. I feel like my brain is crashing."
["Stop talking nonsense!"], The Scarecrow completely ignored what everyone else was saying right now. It only glanced nervously at Miss Attendant Five, afraid she might misunderstand, as it shouted, ["When did I ever tear your clothes open? And do you even have lips? I'm a Scarecrow and you're a cloth doll. Talking to me about kissing is like a car tire rolling over a road and the road insisting the car slept with it! What kind of illness do you have?"]
"You're the one who's sick! Your whole family is sick! Oh right, I almost forgot you came from the Tomato Orphanage, you don't even have a mom," The Cursed Doll used its soft little hands to smack the Scarecrow's head as it said, "Anyway, I'm telling you this, whether you admit it or not, you already kissed me and saw me, so you're my man for life now. If you try to run, I'll tear you apart with my own hands. And I'll stay right next to your body too. Whoever dares come help patch you up, I'll curse them to death."
"Damn!" ×3
Ethan, Attendant Five, and Cook Four all spoke at the same time and stepped backward together.
Nobody wanted to fight a cloth doll over a man.
Besides, this man was not even a real person. It was only a Scarecrow. Getting cursed by a cloth doll over a Scarecrow was way too unfair a trade.
"Hmph!"
Only then did the Cursed Doll cross its tiny arms in satisfaction and say, "I figured you wouldn't dare."
["Get off me! I don't like you!"], The Scarecrow glared at the Cursed Doll. Since it was not afraid of curses, it shouted, ["If you keep ruining things between me and Miss Attendant Five, I won't let you off! Believe it or not, I'll stab you hard right now! I'll stab you until you explode!"]
"Oho! Go ahead then!", The Cursed Doll shook its head and body as it said, "Also, let me give you some bad news. Your Miss Attendant Five already has something going on with your brother. Whoever she likes, it was never going to be a thing like you anyway. I think you should just give up."
